Chapter 254: The Abbot Returns to Beijing
"I'm sorry."
"But father has not let you down, has he? Father thought so highly of you and Yanshu back then. He is his eldest grandson!"
"You can choose not to come back, but Yanshu must recognize his ancestral roots. He can only be a member of my Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion!" Lu Yuanze's expression was grim, and he no longer concealed it at all.
Xu was almost angry.
"Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion? You don't even have a plaque, what kind of mansion is it? Stop flattering yourself!"
"I'm sorry, old man, it's not me!"
"It's you! Stop trying to blackmail me morally!" Xu spat and spit directly in Lu Yuanze's face.
Fortunately, I wrote the letter of severance of the relationship, otherwise, he would have really taken advantage of me!
"The old man will die with regrets if he has a son like you!"
"If you want to recognize your son, wait for the next life!"
"Dengzhi, show the guest away!" Xu shouted sternly.
Lu Yuanze wanted to say more, but Dengzhi came directly with the guards. He pushed Lu Yuanze directly and couldn't get close to him at all.
"Yanshu is also my son!" Lu Yuanze shouted loudly with veins bulging on his forehead.
Lu Yanshu was wearing a long gown and standing under the corridor.
Lu Yuanze's eyes lit up: "Yanshu, come home with dad. Let's open the temple to worship our ancestors. When grandpa was alive, he loved you the most."
"He suffered from lack of education in his life, and he kept saying that his descendants should learn literature. You are the most promising one of this generation, he must be happy."
"Back then, you were his favorite."
Lu Yanshu was standing in the corridor, holding a book with a calm expression.
"You can go back now. I will burn some incense for my grandfather when I have time."
Lu Yuanze's eyes lit up slightly.
"It's impossible to return to one's roots."
To trace his ancestral roots back to his roots would be another betrayal to his mother, and he would never be able to trace his ancestral roots back to his roots.
"you!"
"Lord Lu, please have some shame. The letter of severance that I wrote personally back then was personally read by His Majesty!"
"Who in Beijing doesn't know that you exchanged Lu Jinghuai for inkstone and books?"
Rong Che came in from outside holding Lu Chaochao's hand.
Lu Yuanze's eyes were dark: "What does it have to do with you when I talk to my son?"
"Son? I didn't hear you call me dad!" Rong Che looked calm and composed, making Lu Yuanze so angry that he rolled his eyes.
"Chao Chao, come here and let daddy hug you." Lu Yuanze clapped his hands towards Chao Chao.
Lu Chaochao muttered in disdain: "What kind of father are you?"
"There are so many people who want to be my father. You are not the only one."
Lu Yuanze suppressed his anger: "Chao Chao, you are still young and don't understand. How can a stepfather compare to a biological father? Even if the biological father's bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. How can we still be family!"
"Then just grind them to dust." Lu Chaochao said seriously.
"There's no muscle left."
"Unfilial daughter! You wicked girl, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" Lu Yuanze was furious and pointed at Lu Chaochao and cursed.
Rong Che stopped Chao Chao behind him and said, "Lord Lu, she is not even on the family tree. What an unfilial daughter!"
"Wasn't it you who was struck by lightning? When you and Pei had an affair, your hair was burnt and even your butt was exposed."
"Go away!"
"Stop being an eyesore here."
Lu Yuanze was filled with shame and anger, and he just walked away.
And Xu, with her children, hosted a banquet to congratulate Lu Yanshu on his success in the imperial examination.
The two companies are in stark contrast.
Lu Yuanze returned home angrily. Pei was sitting in front of the hall, and her tone was cold: "Are you looking for Xu again?"
"Xu, Xu, you only remember Xu! Where do you put my face? I am your legal wife!"
"Lu Yuanze, where are you going to put the face of me and our child? That's your divorced ex-wife, you are slapping me in the face!" Pei's face was flushed and tears were in her eyes.
The whole capital city laughed at her.
"Face? What face do you want?!"
"When you were my mistress, you had no shame. Why do you need to have any shame now? If you can't teach the children well and manage the household affairs well, what's the point of marrying you?"
"You are just a mistress, how dare you mention this!"
The most hurtful words always come from the people closest to you.
How could Lu Yuanze have imagined at this moment that one day he and Pei would slander each other.
Pei was so angry that she covered her chest and pointed at him as her body was shaky.
He looked very angry.
Lu Jingyao cursed inwardly, what a useless thing.
"Daddy, please don't scold Mommy."
"The abbot of Huguo Temple said that Jingyao is invaluable. When Jingyao grows up, she will definitely bring honor to her parents." Lu Jingyao tried to persuade them with tears in her eyes.
Lu Yuanze snorted coldly and stopped cursing.
"Jingyao doesn't understand why our family's life has become worse and worse since we had sister Chaochao."
"Before Chao Chao, my parents were in harmony, my brother had a very good reputation, my grandmother was not paralyzed, and my family even had a plaque of the Marquisate..."
"But since Chao Chao was born, my parents have been at odds, my brother has had accidents one after another, my grandmother had a stroke, my aunt was beaten to death in public, and our family's hereditary marquisate is gone..."
"Is it Chao Chao Ke's house?"
"Look, she has become a princess."
"It's as if she has sucked away our family's luck."
Lu Yuanze seemed to be thinking about something. After Lu Jingyao finished speaking, he suddenly covered his mouth and said, "Daddy, Jingyao is just talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart. How could Chaochao absorb Qiyun? It might be a coincidence."
Lu Yuanze remained silent and said nothing.
"Yes."
"Everything went wrong after she was born."
"I was struck by lightning and demoted. All this happened after she was born." Lu Yuanze's heart sank. Everything matched up.
"Jingyao, you are really Daddy's lucky star."
Lu Jingyao sighed and said, "Chao Chao is unlucky even for her own father, so if His Majesty recognizes her as his daughter, she won't be unlucky for Bei Zhao, right?"
Lu Yuanze raised his brows.
"Tomorrow is March 3rd, a grand Buddhist event. The abbot of Huguo Temple will return to Beizhao to give lectures. I will take you to find him."
"Back then, when you were still in your mother's arms, the abbot of the Huguo Temple predicted that your future destiny would be extremely noble, indescribably noble. He even gave you the Buddhist beads that he always carried with him and that were blessed by the Buddha. It can be seen that he values you very much..."
Lu Yuanze looked at his daughter happily: "Jingyao, you are really my biological daughter."
"Lu Chaochao, that unfilial daughter!"
Lu Jingyao leaned in her father's arms and looked at him with admiration.
"Chao Chao is so ignorant. You are obviously his father, yet you are so unfilial. Jing Yao must be filial to his father and not make him sad..."
"Okay, okay, Jingyao is so good!"
Lu Yuanze's depression dissipated.
In the evening, he was even in a very good mood and had dinner with Lu Jingyao and her daughter.
March 3rd.
It is a grand gathering of Buddhism.
Lu Yuanze got dressed early. Today was a day off, so he didn't need to ask for leave.
He just held Lu Jingyao's hand and went out with his head held high.
"Today, Lu Chaochao's good days are over!"
The purpose of this grand Buddhist gathering is to exchange Buddhist teachings and save all sentient beings.
Most people are busy making money to support their families and have no time to listen to the sutras.
Almost all of them were from wealthy and powerful families and brought their children to listen to the sutras and pray for blessings. Even the King and Queen of Jingxi were sitting on cushions with pious looks on their faces.
The abbot of Huguo Temple is a contemporary eminent monk and the host of a royal temple, with a very high status.
At this moment, Lu Yuanze was stopped by the little monk under the platform.
